Pete has suggested if you are attending his Color Melting Class in June 2013, that each should have their own copy of "Chemical Approach to Glass" by Volf. Pete requested a discount from us to all attending the class. I will sell it for half price ($100) to anyone attending either of his classes. You are welcome to buy the book in advance from my website (which may be a little confusing), or contact me directly for PayPal or Credit Card purchases. You may also mail a check if you wish. I also have a few of the Hellmer's Secret Batch Book copies for anyone who might be interested. It's a fine copy of the actual batch formulas Hellmers used while working at various manufacturers. ($50) Postage is a little extra (typically $5, USA) for the books.

It would be good to know if you will be wanting the book to make sure we have enough available before the class. I can bring some copies of each.

Who knows, perhaps Pete could list a few reading assignments for attendees before the class, so we all come ready to learn on the next level. Homework!

No Homework! I am not teaching chemistry although Volf is a very valuable book to have if you intend to make coloured glasses I teach process, which is critical to success. As the old German saying went, a good formula can't cross the street and that is so true...
